For Trade: We want a boat ! floating condo trawler type or? may trade...

[Greatlake]

Hello all, new here, but not to boating.
Our mission is to acquire a well kept non fixer upper 36+ trawler type floating condo. Plan to keep the boat for a couple years and hopefully move up.

We have a 14 year old daughter homeschooled, and I want her to have privacy, so a double cabin is required, diesels, and a large salon with plenty of light is preferred. I like the Hatteras 42 double cabin, Mainship , Carver 39, and classic lines of many Trawlers. We want a "name brand" boat that can be sold in the future.... Were really not brand picky or too specific we just like nice things...

I want to take it to either Stuart Florida area, or Tampa, not afraid to move it from where you have it now....but of course needs to make financial sense.

I have cash and also a very quality built restomod Bel-Air, and thought most boat guys are car guys , maybe a trade could work, at least for the down payment as I can add $$ .....however we do have a budget so 'm looking in the 120k type range or less if a nice example of a boat can be found , my car cost 140k to build but we will of course be taking a haircut here....Yes it has a chopped top and suicide doors,air conditioning too....the best of the best...

Were just fishin....but serious buyers or traders...let me know if this is of any interest, and any sharing thioughts you may have. The car is in Atlanta, I can deliver it anywhere....the boat too

I think you would be better off selling the car and then having boat buying cash

+1, that would be your best bet. You would take a bath by trading.

Greetings and welcome aboard the CF, Greatlake.

Take a look at MOJO, www.mvmojo.com. Why go through a purchase-sale-purchase and wait to move up when you can get a boat you can use for years to come?

I'm not a car guy, but that is one good looking paint job.. I agree with those that say sell the car, then buy the boat. The number of boat sellers that want cars is smaller than the number of boat sellers - you have fewer to pick from.

I forgot to comment on that being a beautiful auto. Do you need some old fart like me to appreciate something dating back to the hot rod era?
